5 Juventus players who are out of favour under Andrea Pirlo

#3 Merih Demiral

Juventus v FC Barcelona: Group G - UEFA Champions League

Merih Demiral is not so much out-of-favour as he is just fourth-choice. The Turkish defender is a promising youngster and he is justified in feeling hard done by the amount of playing time he gets at Juventus.

Pirlo has used Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci as his primary centre-back duo. The immensely talented Matthijs De Ligt is also not Andrea Pirlo's first choice. The Dutchman still sees more playing time than Demiral.

Several reports have suggested that Pirlo doesn't rate the 22-year-old that highly and is open to bringing in other long-term solutions to their defensive problems.

#2 Federico Bernardeschi

Federico Bernardeschi

Federico Bernardeschi had a chance to leave Juventus last summer but he decided to stay put. That has not really worked out for him as he has struggled to fit in under Andrea Pirlo and is expected to be offloaded in the summer.

He has struggled to get chances and when they have come by, he has not been able to make the most of them. The Italian has made 19 appearances for Juventus in the Serie A but only five of them have been starts.

Bernardeschi has often thrived in an attacker's role and in Pirlo's system, he plays as a sort of quasi full-back. Bernardeschi is now 27-years-old and the way this season has gone, it'd be best if he just moved on.

There's something similar between Lingard and Bernardeschi. I think he's could be good, but not for Juventus.

#1 Aaron Ramsey

Juventus v FC Crotone - Serie A

Aaron Ramsey's case is quite a tricky one. The former Arsenal man did struggle to settle down at Juventus under Maurizio Sarri. However, he has been way more impressive this season in a slightly more advanced role. But the rumours linking him with an exit just don't seem to die down and there's good reason for that.

Ramsey is 30-years-old and the Juventus midfield needs to be bolstered. The addition of players like Weston McKennie and Arthur are steps taken in the right direction and the Bianconeri will want to keep that going.

Ramsey has also fallen down the pecking order at Juventus with Arthur, Bentancur and Adrien Rabiot consistently picked ahead of him. His name has also been mentioned in several swap deals.

Reports have suggested that Ramsey is unhappy in Turin and could return to the Premier League in the summer. We won't be surprised if Pirlo decides to use him in a swap deal for one of his transfer targets either.
